Invitation to Master Class recital

January 8, 2009

Dear Friends,

I would like to personally invite you to a recital given by six of my students from my Song Interpretation Master Class. The evening is called "Story Songs" and will be presented at 7:30 PM next Wed. and Thurs., Jan. 14 & 15, at the Sanders Theatre (Fort Worth Community Arts Center).

Since I moved back to Texas five years ago I started offering my Song Interpretation classes in Fort Worth. Several of my students have maintained a consistent and passionate commitment to the work we have been doing together. We have created a collection of very beautiful songs from the Musical Theatre.

The concerts include story songs by theatre greats Stephen Sondheim, Jule Styn and Lionel Bart, and songs by contemporary composers of the musical theatre songbook Adam Guettel, Jonathan Larson, Ricky Ian Gordon and Jason Robert Brown.

It's an evening of beautiful music by some passionate and talented young singers. The songs are some of my favorites and some are songs I only wish I could sing-I have so enjoyed the vicarious pleasure of assisting voices that I can only aspire to emulate. Our Musical Director is the gifted Hans Grim, and I will be your hostess for the two nights.

Please come and enjoy the music and help us celebrate the wonderful work that my students have done. All donations for both nights will go to support the work of Imagination Celebration. I am so grateful to my friend Ginger Head for her sponsorship.

I look forward to seeing you next week.

With warm regards,
Betty Lynn
